NATIONAL PROJECTS

GUIADE

Automatic guidance of public transit vehicles by multimodal perception for improved traffic efficiency. 2008-2011. Financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN). Description: GUIADE's aim is the development of an autonomous public transport fleet based on a multi-modal perception of the environment, using information collected by the vehicles from the environment as well as from the infrastructure.

INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS

SmartCross

Intelligent Management of Pedestrian Crossings. 2014. Company: CI3. Description: SmartCross has been devised as an intelligent system for advanced management of traffic lights at pedestrian crossings. The system watches not only the crossing area but also the pedestrian waiting zones on the sidewalks. With an all-weather, all-illumination condition design, based on stereovision and infrared illumination, SmartCross is intended to improve urban mobility by adapting the trafiic light phases as a function of traffic and pedestrians conditions. In addiition, SmartCross provides great savings in fuel energy and, consequently, a significant reduction in gas emissions. This system will be implemented in the "Living Lab" of Guadalajara (Spain).

Efficient Energy Management of Geothermic Building. 2014. Company: CI3. Description: The EMERITA project involves the development of a mathematical model to represent the actual behavior of an air conditioning system with geothermal energy source, taking as a case study the Earth-Air (ITA) exchanger installed in the Departments of the Government of Extremadura in Mérida

City2020

2012-2014. Company: Ferrovial. Description: CITY 2020 aims to achieve a significant advanced in the areas of energy efficiency, internet of the future (IoF), internet of the things (IoT), human behavior, environmental sustainability and mobility & transport in order to design the city of the future: sustainable, smart and efficient. City2020 conceives, designs and implements a new paradigm of smart, sustainable and efficient city around three fundamental axes: Energy and Efficiency, Mobility and Transport and Environmental Control.

Development of algorithms for pedestrian detection using stereoscopic vision and its integration into a ADAS demostrator for the company KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT FOR POF SL. 2013. Company: KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT FOR POF SL.

Development of an SDK (Software Development Kit) for IRXCAM infrared camera. 2013.

VISUALISE

Automatic inspection system for traffic and overhead signs. 2009-2010. Company: Euroconsult. Description: VISUALISE is a high-performance unit for dynamic auscultation of traffic signs on roads. It allows automatic determination of the traffic signs conditions in regard with night visibility. By means of this Equipment it can be carried out signs retroreflection measurements at regular traffic speed. The main technological innovation of this equipment is that test data acquisition is performed dynamically. The system is installed in a vehicle that circulates at regular traffic speed. Valid data can be obtained while travelling at speeds up to 110 kilometres per hour.
